Job 3:9

_ _ dawning of the day  literally, “eyelashes of morning.” The Arab poets call the sun the eye of day. His early rays, therefore, breaking forth before sunrise, are the opening eyelids or eyelashes of morning.

Job 3:9

The stars  Let the stars, which are the glory and beauty of the night, be covered with thick darkness, and that both in the evening twilight, when the stars begin to shine; and also in the farther progress of the night, even 'till the morning dawns. Look  Let its darkness be aggravated with the disappointment of its expectations of light. He ascribes sense or reasoning to the night, by a poetical fiction, usual in all writers. Dawning  Heb. the eye  lids of the day, the morning  star which ushers in the day, and the beginning, and progress of the morning light, let this whole natural day, consisting of night and day, be blotted out of the catalogue of days.

Job 3:9

Let the stars of the twilight thereof be dark; let it look for light, but [have] none; neither let it (g) see the dawning of the day:

(g) Let it be always night, and never see day.

Job 30:26When I looked for good, then evil came [unto me]: and when I waited for light, there came darkness.Jeremiah 8:15 We looked for peace, but no good [came; and] for a time of health, and behold trouble!Jeremiah 13:16Give glory to the LORD your God, before he cause darkness, and before your feet stumble upon the dark mountains, and, while ye look for light, he turn it into the shadow of death, [and] make [it] gross darkness.

the dawning of the day:

Heb. the eye-lids of the morning,Job 41:18 By his neesings a light doth shine, and his eyes [are] like the eyelids of the morning.
